A little expert in the work! Perkins spoke again astonishingly
2:56am, 10 June 2025【Basketball】
When the finals fire burned on the court, the topic on the sidelines was equally exciting.
Former NBA player and current commentator Perkins was asked by reporters about "what is the strongest draft in NBA history" when he stepped into the Finals Arena. He gave the answer without hesitation: "In the 2003 class, forget the 2009 class and the 1996 class. Look, there is me in the 2003 class, James and others."

These remarks instantly ignited heated discussions among fans, and the legendary story of the 2003 class was also pushed to the spotlight again.
The 2003 NBA Draft is a historical class. In this year, Perkins was selected by the Grizzlies with the 27th pick in the first round, and then moved to the Celtics. Although he averaged only 5.4 points and 5.8 rebounds per game in his career, as the team's interior defensive gate, he helped the Celtics win the championship in the 2007-08 season and built a solid wall for the team with solid defense.

Of course, this generation is still the most famous of James. From "Little Emperor" to "30-year-old man", James is still fighting in the league today. He has won 4 championships and 4 regular season MVPs in his 19-year career. His comprehensive style of play and strong dominance have long become synonymous with the NBA.
In addition to James, there are also many star players in the 2003 class. Cameron Anthony, selected as All-Star 10 times, with a total career score of over 28,000 points. His iconic jump shot and offensive kaleidoscope attributes make him a non-destroyer on the offensive end of the league;
Dwyane Wade, 3-time champion, wrote a legend in the history of the Heat with a breakthrough like the Flash and a big heart performance at critical moments;
Chris Bosh, selected as All-Star 11 times, has a flexible inside footsteps and outstanding shooting ability, and is a "Big Three" formed by James and Wade.

In contrast, although there are superstars such as Kobe, Iverson, and Nash in the 1996 class, does the overall depth and influence really surpass that of the 2003 class? Perkins obviously believes that the overall dominance of the 2003 class is stronger.
I have to say that Perkins will do his job.
In his entire NBA career, Perkins played a total of 782 games, averaging 21.9 minutes per game, scoring 5.4 points and 5.8 rebounds. In the 2007-08 season, he won the championship with the Celtics. After retiring, Perkins joined ESPN and became a basketball commentator.

It is worth mentioning that in this draft, only James is still fighting in the league.
